Of course there is a doubt. The Community runs a process which for presentational purposes is called an election, but only to put forward potential new Borard members. The appointment is entirely in the hands of the Board. They can accept or reject the names put forward by the Community, or select someone else from that list, or soeone else entirely. Given that the Board chose to remove James prevously, for reasons that have never been made clear to the Community, it is within the bounds of possibility that they might decline to appoint him again. I do not think that would be wise, or very popular wth the Community, but it is for the Board, and the Board alone, to decide.
